Amoeba Review

Really, the title of this comp tells it all: a slew of (largely single-named) French femmes frenetically and psychedelically swinging their way through the mid-late 60's, surrounded by fat bass sounds and fuzz guitar. Standouts include Zouzou slowing things down with what sounds like a moody lost Lee Hazlewood production, and Jocelyne's gallification of the Shirley Ellis hit "The Nitty Gritty."
